Crystals for Challenging Times
I feel well-versed on this topic because it’s how I first discovered, for myself, the therapeutic benefits of working with crystals.
My life had fallen apart, and I was slowly healing and rebuilding step by step, day by day.
I had 3 rocks in my pocket, suggested to me by a friend: Tiger iron, blue lace agate, and Botswana agate.
I will never, ever forget those rocks, because I swear their energy helped to carry me through.
The tiger iron was for steadfastness, grounding, focus, and energy.
The blue lace agate was for calm, soothing, and clarity.
The Botswana agate was for emotional stability, centering, and healing.
Every time I felt down, or scared, unsure, anxious, or upset, I’d hold those three crystals and breathe. And step by step, day by day, they helped me get through one of the most painful, challenging times in my life.
I will forever be grateful to those three crystals.
So that, right there, would be my first crystal combo recommendation for anyone else who’s vibe-ing with this right now.
Based on my experience since, as a healer, I have these additional recommendations. I’m giving you options, pick which crystals resonate most strongly for you at this time.
I recommend that you only work with 2 -3, up to a maximum of 5, at a time. Be strategic in your crystal choices, as your system is likely already overwhelmed. Overwhelming it with too many crystals never helps!
I also recommend wearing them on your person on a daily basis for energy help and support. This way they can steadily engage with your whole system and provide levels of reinforcement throughout the day.
